Boston Harborwalk & Tea Party Self-Guided Walking Audio Tour

Jennifer_M, Apr 2026

Lovely and informative.

Park at Harbor Garage for this experience, it starts around the N.E. Aquarium. The walk is like a sidewalk thing around the buildings, right against the water and the buildings so it is right against, it curves with the landscape. VERY nice experience. When you get to one of the spots with the app, it automatically tells you about the area which you arrived. Super interesting and a great job/informative.
